This annual fundraiser was, once again, a great success with a total of €3,010 raised by the sale of beautiful Christmas cards designed by the children. The school receives 50% of the total raised. Thanks to everyone who purchased cards this year.
The children have all made fantastic Christmas cards which they brought home last week. The last day to purchase your cards is Tuesday 24th November.
